Hey Matt, you should make a Duna cycler. A space station in an orbit that intercepts Duna and Kerbin.

[@Eric__J]

Probably because getting to these locations is much harder, so chances are that the player has more skill if they're getting to these locations. Duna and the Mun are just really easy destinations, making them much more likely crash sites.

[@ancientpixel9809]

Okay, so after listening for this intro who knows ho many times and still just understanding half of it, this is what I believe it says: On a lonely planet, slowly spinning its way to damnation, to midigate the incompetence and [...] of lesser space [...], one team stands [...] against the herds. Putting their lives on the line to save those who were previously unaware of the quick save option. Yes, it's the incredible adventures of Jebediah and his crack team of Kerbonauts, they are THE BLUNDERBIRDS. Saving the Kerbin race one stranded explorer at a time.

A rocket much like this became my favourite when I was a kid reading space promotional books. I can't remember whether it was meant to be a Mars orbital shuttle or an Earth suborbital vehicle.

Anyway, this rocket places this video solidly amongst my favourites. :)
